Jim, <How hard would it be for Intel to add x86-64 instructions to the Itanium?>

I never thought of that. Can't be too hard, I suppose. The part of the Merced and McKinley processors that do x86 code is actually pretty small, and according to AMD, x86-64 only adds a small amount to the die size of Hammer.
